Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports that the Orioles are not expected to sign free agent infielder Fernando Tatis.

Tatis, 38, worked out for the O's last week in the Dominican Republic. He hasn't played in the majors since the 2010 season, where he suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder that ended his season. His career in MLB might be over. Fri, Feb 1, 2013 07:53:00 PM

Fernando Tatis worked out for the Orioles last week in the Dominican Republic.

Tatis is now 38 and hasn't played in the majors since 2010, when his season ended following surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The odds of him garnering a minor league deal aren't high. Thu, Jan 31, 2013 09:47:00 PM

Tatis underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He was batting just .185/.254/.338 in 65 at-bats before the Mets placed him on the disabled list and he could have trouble resurfacing. Thu, Jul 15, 2010 08:25:00 PM

Mets placed INF-OF Fernando Tatis on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder sprain.

More specifically, it is a sprain of the AC joint. Tatis, 35, is batting just .185/.254/.338 with two home runs and six RBI in 65 at-bats this season. Based on how little he has been used until this point, the Mets probably won't miss him too much. Mon, Jul 5, 2010 04:23:00 PM

Rivera has yet to begin baseball activities after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection to combat a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The Mets obviously hope that Rivera can avoid Tommy John surgery, but it's going to be a while before he might make it back.

Mets placed INF Jose Reyes on the 10-day disabled list with a left oblique strain.

It's not considered a serious strain, so Reyes could be ready for activation as soon as his 10 days are up. Gavin Cecchini and Matt Reynolds have both been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide the Mets with badly-needed infield depth.

Wilmer Flores (rib cage) remains out of the Mets' starting lineup on Thursday.

Flores was a late scratch Wednesday due to soreness on the left side of his rib cage and is apparently still experiencing some discomfort. Matt Reynolds has been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and will start at third base and bat eighth Thursday night against Yankees right-hander Luis Severino.

When asked if it was realistic to expect David Wright (shoulder) back this year, Mets GM Sandy Alderson said, "He certainly thinks it is."

The last we heard Wright was rehabbing at the team's spring training facility in St. Lucie. With six weeks remaining in a lost season, there won't be much urgency to get Wright back before the end of the year. Injuries have limited the 34-year-old to just 75 games over the past three seasons. He still has three years and $47 million remaining on his contract.

It was the first mound workout for Syndergaard since he landed on the disabled list May 1 with a torn lat muscle. The right-hander is aiming to rejoin the Mets' rotation sometime in September, but he still has many hurdles to clear in his rehab. There is no real timetable at this point.

He finished with three strikeouts and only allowed one hit over 36 pitches. Harvey fared much better Wednesday than he did in his previous rehab outing on Saturday (1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB). He'll still need a couple starts to get his pitch count back up but it won't be long before Harvey is back in the Mets' starting rotation.

Mets placed RHP Zack Wheeler on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to July 23, with a stress reaction in his right arm.

It doesn't sound good given Wheeler's arm injury history, but the good news is he received a CT scan and was told his elbow and shoulder are fine. It's unclear at this point how long the right-hander will be sidelined, but the out-of-contention Mets certainly figure to proceed cautiously. Tyler Pill has replaced Wheeler on the roster and could get some starts.

Jeurys Familia (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning Wednesday in a rehab appearance for High-A St. Lucie.

He made it through the sixth inning in just nine pitches, collecting a walk, a strikeout and an inning-ending double play. Familia is nearing a return after taking over three months to recover from a blood clot in his throwing shoulder. A.J. Ramos has been keeping the seat warm for Familia in the ninth inning.
